execline

What is it ?

execline is a (non-interactive) scripting language, like sh ;
but its syntax is quite different from a traditional shell syntax.
The execlineb program is meant to be used as an interpreter for a
text file; the other commands are essentially useful inside an
execlineb script.

Licensing

Download

Alternatively, you can checkout a copy of the execline git repository:

git clone git://git.skarnet.org/execline

Compilation

See the enclosed INSTALL file for installation details.

Upgrade notes

This page lists the differences to be aware of between
the previous versions of execline and the current one.

Special note

Before version 2.0.0.0, execline used the slashpackage convention by default.
This is not the case anymore; nevertheless, the examples in this documentation
still use #!/command/execlineb as their shebang line, and assume that
the execline binaries are available in /command. Adapt them according
to your installation: the shebang lines for your system might be something like
#!/bin/execlineb, or #!/usr/bin/execlineb, or
#!/usr/local/bin/execlineb, or something else entirely.
